Joseph,

Get one of the older m/b with HX (Pentium), LX (Pentium MMX, Pentium
Pro),
BX (Pentium II/III), BXS (as BX with built in SCSI controller), or BXC
(as
BX with support for copper-`dig`).  An Intel 10/100 NIC will do, and a
Matrox frame buffer will work fine!

Recently, I _had_ to return some GigaByte m/s with VIA chip set, they
were
absolutely hopeless!!!

Regards,
